Thanks for the links, Lindalou and RAZD. I found Talkorigins particularly interesting. There's so much we don't know about the universe still that the many possibilities make it a fascinating topic. But eliminating certainties like the Earth being far older that 6,000 years, in my view, only make it that much more interesting. The numerous rebuttals on Talkorigins very clearly and soundly put to rest a great deal of outdated questions.

The list you directed me to, RAZD, just looks like religion to me; the only one particularly viable at all IMO being theistic evolution. And that isn't to say I'm opposed to discussing such things or that they aren't valid subjects in and of themselves. But I see nothing scientific about them. I'd be curious to know what would be on a creation science curriculum in school, for those who seek to put it alongside or even replace it with evolution.

Could I ask any of the creationist posters here to chime in? I'm eager to understand your viewpoint. For example, have you studied about carbon dating and/or tree rings? How do these scientific findings lead you to a 6,000 year old Earth (or are there no YEC posters here and it's more generalized)?

All the best!
